Chapter 441 A Purse

Nan Yan whispered, "Your Majesty, the ancestral system established by the Emperor Gao, do you want to change everything?"

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "There is one thing I will not change."

"What is it?"

"No outside women can appear in the harem."

Nan Yan was slightly stunned: "Why?"

Zhu Feng said solemnly, "I want to open the gate to the Western Regions, but this section of Hexi has always been controlled by the Neng Kingdom."

“…”

"To reach the Western Regions, we must first take back the land west of the Yellow River."

“…”

"War with the Neng Kingdom is inevitable."

Zhu Feng reached out and rubbed her hair, saying, "So, I cannot have women from the Dian Kingdom around me."

He looked down at the little woman in his arms, a slight smile on his lips.

Fortunately, she is not from the Dang people.

You know, lust can blind one's mind, which is really terrible.

Nan Yan also understood and nodded gently: "No one can hinder the emperor's great cause."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I also know that what I want to do will not be accomplished overnight, but I will not let anyone hinder my great cause."

“…”

Nan Yan lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I remember hearing my grandmother mention before that my great-uncle had a disciple who accompanied him on his diplomatic missions to the Western Regions. This man is both civil and military, and is proficient in the writing systems and languages ​​of various countries. I think he must be a very useful person."

"Oh? Where is he?"

"I don't know. My grandmother told me that ever since my uncle—" Nan Yan hesitated, but considering that it was Emperor Gao's doing, she skipped the topic and said softly, "This person has had no contact with our family."

"Oh, what's his name?"

"Yan Ye."

"Yan Ye..."

Zhu Feng murmured the name again, a gleam in his eyes.

Nan Yan asked, "Your Majesty?"

Zhu Feng looked down at her again and said calmly, "It's okay. If I can find him, and if he's truly a useful talent, I'll make use of him."

"Um."

Zhu Feng continued: "As for your brother——"

Nan Yan looked at him.

Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let him follow Master Jian first. If he is truly useful, I will use him."

Nan Yan nodded: "Yes."

When they returned to the Ye Ting that day, Nan Yan gave the medicine given by Zhu Feng to Ran Xiaoyu.

It turned out to be a good medicine. By the second day, the swelling on the wound had basically subsided. In addition, Ran Xiaoyu was in good health, so on the third day, she was able to move freely.

And this day is also the day they set out.

Early in the morning, the troops heading north gathered at the palace gate. When Nan Yan and Ran Xiaoyu arrived, Eunuch Yu came over with a smile and took them to a carriage.

"This is something the Emperor specifically instructed for the ladies-in-waiting and Ran to sit on."

"Wow--"

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

You know, the last time he left the palace to go to Yongzhou, she had to accompany the emperor in the carriage.

It was great that she could actually ride in a carriage this time. She climbed into the carriage happily. Although the interior was simply furnished, the cushions were soft and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Ran Xiaoyu said: "I, actually benefited from your help."

Nan Yan's face turned red: "Nonsense."

At this moment, a voice from outside said, "Lady Si, your family has sent something in and asked them to give it to you."

“……?”

Nan Yan frowned slightly.

Family, stuff?

She drew aside the curtain and saw a little eunuch standing outside the window, respectfully presenting a small purse to her.
